I just want to know if there are any laws regarding this? I want to know if there is anything you can do to stop a possible project, or slow it down that involves nudity. Not for an all-out battle on all things, just one project? Is there anyone viewing who has legal experience on this type of thing?

I bet half of you clicked on this just to tell me what a stupid, absurd idea that is, but think about it. If you have strong political views, are you guilty of insulting or attacking people who disagree with them? If I'm a republican I can call all democrats anti-American tree hugging socialist hippies, and I'll get a bunch of thumbs up from other republicans, even though I clearly just insulted an entire group of people. If I'm a democrat, I can call all republicans war mongering gun toting hillbilly neocons, and get a bunch of thumbs up from other democrats, even though, I just insulted an entire group of people.

So why do we say we want the freedom to choose, but then we attack people who disagree? Why cant we just learn to accept that we're in a country where people are going to have different political views, and we're free to do so? And if we are going to get into politics, why cant we discuss them maturely? Why do we have to get so pissed, and resort to personal attacks?

if you don't know what it is, go here:

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55824

it's basically this: if there's some sort of major catastrophe anywhere in the world: congress gets thrown out, and bush and a select few others retain full authority. bush also takes control of all intra-u.s. governments. that means he takes control of all federal, state, and local governments/governmental organizations, and also takes control of the private sector. should this come around election time, the elections are cancelled, and bush continues to be dictator indefinitely.

i'm still waiting to see how conservatives will spin this one in defense of him. i really don't see how anyone could.

lets say a guy went into a "gang",he sell drugs he mugg people and a lot of ghetto kids go to jail a LOT, then what??? nothing...he would just get more street respect and still do the same thing and become more dangerous and later he would get killed in some "gang-war" but if they let him join the military that might turn his life around, coz you know the Military has discipline and all, so instead of just putting them into jail(which won't work anyway), why can't we just accept those mislead people to the military and give them a chance to a better life???

Get this, it was a family in a Dodge Caravan, and the other driver was in a church van who was apparently drunk, because he was arrested at the scene and smiled as he was hand cuffed and taken away.
He crossed the medium and hit this van causing the van to spin around killing the passenger and the driver was bleeding from the head. Probably won't survive.

Someone tell me as to WHY most states are not tough at all with DUI or DWI?? There has to be tougher laws, something!!
1st offense, what? A slap with a hefty fine and they go free??

Why must this happen time and time again, and some are repeat offenders!

Here is an inocent family and now their world has been torn apart.

There is a movement that thinks so, but their views might stem from fanatics whose productions could be based on biased research.

Most of the world doesn't think so, but their views might stem from the productions of the mass media, which could be invalid since the media is influenced by elite individuals who could have ties to powerful people in the government.

If you wish for your word to be worth anything, you have know your opposition's case before stating your opposition to it. Do you know the case that the mass media has made against the notion that 9/11 was an inside job? Do you know the case that the 9/11 truth movement has made for it?

we cut it off or make sure that the "fat cats" don't just buy a Benz and villa in France? There must be some way to make sure if we help a country the money will be given to those who need it. Is the answer only trade goods?

So many people feel the three main parties have let us down, ie they are parrots, with no unique identifying factors anymore. They all have liberal, anti-family, feminist policies, which have led to the demise of the UK. Unfortunately a lot of people feel that the only alternative is the BNP, who were birthed out of the Neo-Nazi Movement. I think that the Christian People's Alliance could provide a healthy alternative and I wonder what other people have to say about it? Check out their website: http://www.cpalliance.net/index.asp

I'm new to the area and though I try to stay informed, I often miss out. For example, I heard nothing of the march yesterday (10/17/2007) until after it was over.

I've done web searches, but the sites found are either bare-bones or more often way outdated, touting 'Kerry for President'! Where can I look for more comprehensive, current information on progressive issues and events?

Thanks!

If rape, robbery, home invasion, murder and much more are happening and Mexico knows they are criminals shouldn't these people be able to sue? Also since the governments (last ten presidents) knew about this shouldn't a fence have been built. Should we cut off aid to Mexico or take out to pay the victims? Should Mexico police their own people and give us rap sheets on them so we can pick them up if possible or just turn a blind eye and go to the mall?

He cheated on me 5 months ago. We are still trying to get passed it. I keep thinking that if he goes to boot camp or wherever he's going, that he will cheat on me again. Should I be worried? What is it like? Is it likely that he will interact with women a lot? Is there a chance that he could actually hook up with someone? He keeps telling me I have nothing to worry about. Please help me. Serious answers please...

I have about 100 credits (pretty much all various science and G.E.) from 3 different colleges. I signed up for Nuke and want to go on a sub. I was thinking that becoming an officer would be a good idea. I figured I might be a few classes shy of a degree and could maybe attain one in two years (after Nuke school of course). Would I then have to re-up my contract? And what would the chances of even being able to go officer be?

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

rock on b*tches

rock on...b*tches

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
All right now!

I'm tired of it, and there are Jews in my family. It is all we hear. I don't need to be forever reminded "never again".

The Irish suffered (nearly starved to death). The Blacks suffered (just as much if not MORE than Jews)..and other groups and races and ethicities suffered badly also.

For some of us, we hear it everyday; that Jews are no better than anyone else; that antisemitism is an overused expression, and they wonder why the police seem afraid of us.

Well, listen, some people just do not like Jews. Just as some do not like Blacks, or Poles, or Middle Easterners, or Russians.

But we are unable to create legislation that will MAKE people like other people.
No I don't want to see ANYONE HURT or discriminated against.
but that includes EVERYONE.
Not just Jews.
Enough already
Please!!!!
We need to be embracing others rather than accusing them of antisemitism which by the way may be that they just don't
LIKE US !!

I found THIS article BURIED:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/10/24/state/n110333D85.DTL

(10-25) 09:28 PDT Los Angeles (AP) --
Police have arrested a man in Los Angeles after witnesses say they saw him lighting a fire on a hillside.

Authorities say 41-year-old Catalino Pineda was seen starting a fire in the San Fernando Valley Wednesday and then walking away. Witnesses alerted authorities and followed the man to a nearby restaurant where police arrested him.

Pineda was booked for investigation of arson. Authorities say the Guatemala native is currently on probation for making excessive false emergency reports to law enforcement.

Police and fire officials could not immediately say whether he might be connected to any of the wildfires in Southern California.

The OTHER fire which illegals are responsible for is the fire where 3 of the 4 illegals died while making a bomb fire at night that got out of control.

I personally think a few of you owe me an apology.
